Kazakhstan-UK Business Forum facilitates investment partnerships in mining & critical minerals

Vanadium, though less well-known than many other metals, has a rich history and an increasingly important future in modern technology. Its discovery dates back to 1801 when Spanish-Mexican mineralogist Andrés Manuel del Río first identified a

Battery metals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese, graphite, and vanadium are essential for the production of batteries, particularly as demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy storage continues to rise. This demand has made

Vanadium’s story began in 1801 when del Rio first discovered the element. Unfortunately, his discovery was dismissed by a French chemist, who incorrectly claimed it was merely impure chromium. Trusting this assessment, del Rio accepted the

The shift from fossil fuels to electric power is gaining momentum, with supercars and private jets among the latest to transition to battery power. Ferrari’s CEO, Benedetto Vigna, recently announced the upcoming release of the company’s

Ferro-Alloy Resources Ltd (LON:FAR) is developing the giant Balasausqandiq vanadium deposit in Kyzylordinskaya oblast of southern Kazakhstan. The ore at this deposit is unlike that of nearly all other primary vanadium deposits and is capable of being

Vanadium, a transition metal, is notable for its natural resistance to corrosion and its stability when exposed to alkalis, acids, and saltwater. This metal is naturally found in more than 60 minerals, including vanadinite, carnotite, roscoelite,

Imagine a battery where energy is stored in liquid solutions rather than solid electrodes. This is the fundamental principle of Vanadium Flow Batteries, which utilise vanadium ions in four different oxidation states, derived from vanadium pentoxide

The ferro-alloy sector is witnessing a remarkable transformation driven by increasing demand for specialised metals essential to various high-tech and industrial applications. The growing adoption of electric vehicles, renewable energy technologies, and advanced manufacturing processes has

In 1831, Swedish scientist Sefstrom officially discovered vanadium, naming it after Vanadis, the Swedish Goddess of Beauty and Fertility, inspired by the attractive brilliant colours of its compounds. This name proved fitting, as vanadium has led

Vanadium, a transition metal named after the Scandinavian goddess Vanadis, has been increasingly recognised for its remarkable properties and potential to revolutionise various industries. As the world continues to seek sustainable solutions and innovative technologies, vanadium

Vanadium was discovered independently twice. Initially identified in 1801 by Spanish mineralogist Andrés Manuel del Río, it was named “brown lead” and later “erythronium” because of the red color of its salts. However, his discovery was

Critical metals and minerals are essential to modern society, driving innovation and sustainability across various industries. Among these vital elements, vanadium stands out for its remarkable properties and applications, particularly in renewable energy and advanced technology

The ferroalloy industry is experiencing a resurgence, driven by increasing global demand for steel and high-performance alloys. As the backbone of modern infrastructure, steel production is crucial, and the essential role ferroalloys play in enhancing its

Vanadium, a transition metal known for its versatility and impressive properties, is increasingly becoming a focal point in various industries. This element, found in minerals and fossil fuel deposits, plays a crucial role in steel production,

Iron and steel, comprising steel and pig iron, are alloys where iron and carbon are the primary elements. These materials are the most extensively used in industrial applications. Adding vanadium to steel significantly enhances its properties
